As well, technology does not change the process. View the two videos of AT&T's Network Operations Centre below. They are more than 35 years apart. One has a video wall, the other an old school board. But they did the same thing. The guy in the legacy video concludes well in the video by saying it's about the people. In all those years nothing has changed, it's still about people.
